Getting to game

I am registered with chess.com.  However, when I click the ">> Click here to start the game!" link in the invitation to play email I get an "OOPS?! Invalid server request" error message.  I have already played several games.  Why can't I get to this one?

When you go into your current games list, are you able to see the challenge you were sent there ?

Game invites, either ones you sent or ones you get will show under your current games list.

If you can find your friends username in the list of finished games, click on his username. This takes you to his profile homepage. On the right side menu options panel, click where it says 'challenge to play' - a new page opens which lets you choose how many days, rated or unrated, color you play etc, then once you're done, click on 'create game'  under it. This then sends your friend the challenge.

It will appear to you under your current games list until your friend accepts the game challenge his end. Once he has, the game will appear in your current games list.

From your homepage, look on the right side menu options panel, click where it says Live Chess.

When that new page opens, click the large box that says "play live now". That takes you into live chess :)
